Not long after, Gao Hong and Chen Johan flew to Nanyang City and participated in the combat meeting held at the 41st Army Headquarters.

When Gao Hong and Chen John, Gao Jiu was a little surprised when he didn't see Jiang Xiaomei, because under normal circumstances, when Gao Jiu came to southwest Shandong, Jiang Xiaomei would definitely be the first to come.

Gao Jiu asked, "Where is my sister?"

Gao Hong did not reply and looked at John Chen.

John Chen said: "Mr. Gao, the arsenal has just been bombed by the Japanese army. Minister Jiang is dealing with the arsenal. She asks us to say hello to you."

Gao Jiu nodded.

The combat meeting began, and Wang Jindong presided over the meeting.

The chief of staff of the 41st Army first introduced the enemy situation around Nanyang City.

The chief of staff said worriedly: "The Japanese army came to three divisions at once, with more than 40,000 people. The pressure on Nanyang is too great."

Gao Hong also introduced the enemy situation in southwestern Shandong. Now, not only are the 40th Division of the 7th Army of the Japanese army, but also the 138th Division of the 12th Army of the Japanese army heading south from Jinan, and a chariot corps, with a total force of more than 29,000.

John Chen also felt very stressed.

This time the Japanese army came in full force, as if black clouds were crushing the city and were about to destroy it. The personnel participating in the combat meeting felt a lot of pressure, and the atmosphere in the venue was a little nervous.

Gao Jiu is the backbone of everyone, and everyone looked at Gao Jiu to see what countermeasures he had.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "The Japanese seem to be coming in a fierce manner, but in fact it's nothing special. I believe we will be able to repel their attack and give them a profound lesson."

Seeing Gao Jiu so relaxed, everyone felt a little nervous.

Wang Jindong said: "Brother Gao, what are your specific plans?"

Gao Jiu said: "Let's first analyze the enemy situation.

In Nanyang, there are the 38th Division and 39th Division of the 7th Army, and the 37th Division of the 6th Army. They look huge, but they are not that serious.

The 37th Division of the Japanese Army, the 6th Army of the Front, only played a cooperative role in this Nanyang Battle and would not devote themselves to this battle wholeheartedly.

There are old friends of my country in the 37th Division of the Japanese Army. I will say hello to them and send a special forces team to warn them. I believe that at most they will act and will not really attack Nanyang City.

Without the 37th Division of the Japanese army, the only Japanese army attacking Nanyang was left with the 38th Division and the 39th Division. Among them, the 38th Division only invested one brigade, which means that the total Japanese army's total strength was only 30,000 people at most, and there was nothing scary."

Gao Jiu's words made everyone excited, and everyone's faces began to smile.

Gao Jiu continued: "The 41st Army has 60,000 troops, and is equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition. My opinion is to leave two divisions of troops to defend the 39th Division of the Japanese army in Kaifeng direction. Concentrate the forces of the three divisions to deal with the 38th Division of the Japanese army. The 38th Division has only one brigade and direct team, with a total force of no more than 15,000 people. We are completely sure to defeat and even wipe out this enemy."

Gao Jiu's words were approved by the generals of the 41st Army. The atmosphere in the venue became relaxed. Everyone talked a lot and expressed their support for Gao Jiu's opinion.

Commander Wang of the 41st Army asked the Chief of Staff to formulate combat deployments in accordance with Gao Jiu's opinion.

Next, Gao Jiu began to talk about the situation in the southwest Shandong direction.

Gao Jiu said: "The Japanese 40th Division and the Japanese 138th Division attacked southwestern Shandong, right? There is also a chariot regiment that looks huge, but it is not the case.

First of all, the 40th Division of the Japanese army belongs to the 7th Army in Henan and the 138th Division belongs to the 12th Army in Shandong. It is hard to say whether they can cooperate perfectly.

It’s not that I was talking big, but the Japanese army in Shandong was already scared by me. Although the 138th Division was just transferred from Japan, the commanders of the 12th Army knew that our Iron Triangle was not easy to mess with, so they would not attack southwestern Shandong with all their strength. This can be proved by their bypassing Taohua Mountain and going directly to the Lu County area.

I will say hello to the 12th Army of the Japanese army, so that they can do it themselves, and then send Taohuashan guerrillas to attack them. I think they will reach the Lu County area at most and dare not continue to move south.

In this way, only the Japanese 40th Division attacked the base area of ​​the southwestern Shandong Military Sub-district, with a total force of no more than 15,000 people, which is nothing extraordinary.

After hearing Gao Jiu's words, Gao Hong and Chen also showed relaxed smiles on their faces.

The total force of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district exceeded that of the Japanese army, and the weapons and ammunition were sufficient, so he was fully confident that he could block the Japanese army's attack.

Gao Jiu said: "As for the Japanese air force, I have sent special forces to attack them, and news should be available soon."

At this moment, the confidential department of the 41st Army received a telegram from Wang Zhankui, saying that they had successfully attacked the airport of the Japanese Sixth Air Force, and the threat from the Japanese Air Force in the southeast was temporarily lifted.

After Gao Jiu published the telegram, everyone was very happy.

Gao Jiu continued: "The second leader of Taohuashan has sent special forces to the Japanese Second Air Force and the Japanese Third Air Force respectively, and will launch an attack on them tonight.

If nothing unexpected happens, all the threats from the Japanese Air Force can be lifted."

After sufficient discussion, the Operations Conference decided that the 41st Army and the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district were each responsible for the Japanese army they faced and prepared to cooperate with each other according to changes in the situation on the battlefield.

The combat meeting decided that this time, the breakthrough point of the defense war in the Iron Triangle region would choose to first attack the 38th Division of the Japanese army. As long as you can find an opportunity to annihilate this enemy, the other Japanese troops will definitely withdraw, and the defense war in the Iron Triangle region will basically end.

Since annihilation of the 38th Division was the key to this battle, the meeting decided that Gao Jiu would be in charge of the command.

After the combat meeting, Gao Hong, Chen Johan and others were about to return to Zhiyuan County.

Gao Hong and John Chen were about to say goodbye to Gao Jiu. Gao Hong said with some concern: "Do you want to tell Brother Gao about Minister Jiang?"

John Chen said: "Let's take a moment. This is the critical moment, don't distract Mr. Gao. Minister Jiang himself also has this opinion."

Gao Hong nodded silently and came to meet Gao Jiu with John Chen.

Gao Hong said: "Brother Gao, we are back to Zhiyuan County now. Do you have any other things to explain?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I wish you all the victory! I will say hello to my sister on the way. The situation of the war is tense, so I won't go to see you off."

After Gao Hong and John Chen left, Gao Jiu returned to the war room and went to study the combat plan with the Chief of Staff of the 41st Army and others.

Zhiyuan County Town.

Chen John returned to Zhiyuan County and held a combat meeting with Gao Hong for the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district, and then he came to the hospital of the Military Sub-district.

In the corridor, he saw Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the pair of sisters. They were guarding the door of the observation room.

Chen John asked in a low voice: "How is the situation of Minister Jiang?"

The sister among the sisters said softly: "Political Commissar, Minister Jiang is much better. She just finished the fluid and is already asleep."

Chen Johan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, I won't go in and see her. When she wakes up, you will tell her that Mr. Gao has arrived in Nanyang and he is very good, so let Minister Jiang not worry."

The two sisters nodded together and said, "Yes, political commissar, we get it."

John Chen still walked to the door, took a look through the crack in the door, then walked back, and said, "Attention to Minister Jiang's situation at any time and report to me at any time."

Jiang Xiaomei was injured. On the day the Japanese Air Force bombed the arsenal, an aviation bomb fell near her office and blew the house down. Jiang Xiaomei was crushed inside. By the time people rescued her, she was already unconscious.

After being sent to the hospital, John Chen personally conducted an examination for her and found that she had suffered serious injuries, a rib and a fracture of the calf bone in her left leg.

John Chen personally dealt with her and is now recovering.

In order not to distract Gao Jiu, Jiang Xiaomei's first sentence when she woke up was not to tell Gao Jiu. Therefore, John Chen and Gao Hong did not tell Gao Jiu about this.

Three hours later, Jiang Xiaomei woke up.

The sister who was standing by the side hurriedly asked, "Minister Jiang, are you getting better?"

Jiang Xiaomei smiled and said, "It's okay, it's much better."

Ning Wen, Ning Wu, who had been guarding outside, and his sister, hurriedly walked in.

Jiang Xiaomei asked, “Is there any news about Brother Jiu?

Ning Wen hurriedly said, "Jiu Ye has arrived in Nanyang City. He is very good and is commanding the troops to prepare for war."

Jiang Xiaomei asked, "Didn't you tell him about my affairs?"

Ning Wen said: "Political Commissar Chen came back from a meeting in Nanyang. He did not tell Master Jiu as you requested."

Jiang Xiaomei said, "That's good."

When she said this, she felt a little relieved. She hoped that she would not cause trouble for Gao Jiu. But she felt a little regretful, because she felt a little aggrieved at this moment, hoping that Gao Jiu could stay by her side, cry in his arms, and vent her longing for him.

Jinan City, the third Japanese air force.

After the Mufu Hengtian left, the former chief of staff was also transferred. The newly appointed commander, Lianyi Sakata, was newly transferred from the country, full of confidence and ready to make achievements.

Of course, after he took office, he must understand the situation of the Third Air Force in Shandong. Although the Mufu Hengtian and the Chief of Staff left, most of the other senior officers were still there. They had made a fortune because of Gao Jiu. Therefore, they did not want the Third Air Force to have conflicts with Gao Jiu. They hoped that Rabantian Lianyi and others could join the gang and continue their previous journey of making money.

Since they didn't know much about the new Sakata Renichi and the Chief of Staff, they had never revealed this meaning.

After the attack on the Japanese Sixth Air Force, the Japanese army would definitely report it. Sakata Lianyi attached great importance to this matter, so he learned about the situation from the original officers of the air force.

The officers all knew that the attack on the Sixth Air Force must be Gao Jiu's people, and they did not want Gao Jiu to come here. So they told Sakata how Gao Jiu attacked the Third Air Force and how he killed the commander of the Second Air Force, etc. in an invigorating manner to Lianyi Sakata, hoping that he would not provoke Gao Jiu, otherwise Gao Jiu would come to the headquarters.

This guy can fly over the eaves and walls, and he can also have invisibility techniques, so no one can escape his attack.

When Sakata Lianyi was originally in China, he heard about Gao Jiu's daimyo. When he came to Shandong, he heard that Gao Jiu had already gone to the distant Golden Triangle, so he did not connect Gao Jiu with himself.

After listening to the introduction of his officers, he specially sent his trusted adjutant to investigate Gao Jiu's deeds. He found that Gao Jiu was simply too terrifying. No one who offended him had ended up being good. A considerable number of Japanese air force were hit by him. But later he heard that they were safe and he didn't know what to do for a moment, so he sent a telegram to his classmates and friends, the commander of the 8th Japanese Air Force, asking him how he dealt with him when facing Gao Jiu?

The commander of the Eighth Air Force was depressed. After Yokota Makio was transferred, their financial relationship was temporarily cut off. He was not sure how to contact Gao Jiu again, but Sakata Lianyi came to the door.

He vaguely reminded Sakata Lianyi not to be opposed to Gao Jiu, and said that he would send an adjutant to meet Sakata Lianyi and discuss important things with him.

After seeing the adjutant of the Eighth Air Commander, Sakata Corps basically figured out the tricks between each air force and Gao Jiu.

He found the original officers of the Third Air Force and learned about it. Only then did he know why the Japanese Third Air Force lived so freely later.

After finding out the truth of the matter, he was also in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he believed that these people betrayed the Japanese Huang Army and wanted to report them, but he found that there were too many people involved in it, and even the upper class of the Japanese Air Force.

Because those people have also received filial piety from various airlines, if he reports this matter rashly, he may be the first to die.

He didn't want to be like those guys, with Gao Jiu's secret songs, but now that things are in front of him, he already knows the secrets of those people. If he can't get along with Gao Jiu, he will be worried about being hit by Gao Jiu.

If he did not execute his superior's orders and went to fight Gao Jiu, his superiors could not explain it, which made him very worried for a moment.

The officers of the Third Air Force realized that the new commander had been shaken, so they advised the commander when they had the opportunity, hoping to restore their previous state.

That night, several mortar shells fell into the headquarters compound of the Third Air Force. Although they did not hurt anyone, they also scared Sakata Lianyi so much that he was sweating.

On the same night, anti-Japanese troops also appeared near Jinan Airport. They also fired some mortar shells towards the airport, but they also did not hurt anyone.

He now understood that Gao Jiu was warning himself. After careful consideration, he thought that Gao Jiu was really not something he could afford, so he decided to accept the opinions of his officers and secretly contact Gao Jiu, hoping that both sides would be safe and sound.

Although the Mother of Hengtian left, the original confidential section chief had a radio signal to contact Gao Jiu, so he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu in the name of Sakata Lianyi.

As for the Japanese Second Air Force, since they had just bombed Nanyang City and the arsenal in southwestern Shandong, Gao Jiu was not so polite to them. Zhang Quan personally led the team to destroy the Second Air Force's airport in Zhengzhou.

Fortunately, Gao Jiu didn't know that Jiang Xiaomei was injured due to the air strike of the Second Air Force. Otherwise, he would have taken the initiative personally and killed the commander of the Second Air Force.

So far, the threat from the Japanese Air Force was lifted.
Chapter completed!
